i’ve blocked off my entire evening because my boyfriend is about to go fully blind into a lifechanging experience: the S1 finale of The West Wing (straight into, of course, the first two episodes of S2)

@madjack5774 Your point?

@markz631 Here is the news from most liberal newspaper... x.com/WGNNews/status…

Dear leader, please rescue #Chicago from this lawless hellscape:

@Waleed51111215 @tutticontenti TDS?

@RumHamEconomy Why not take the estimated $1 million a day it would cost to deploy the guard here, or even just part of that, and invest in hiring more police and give them more resources? Or put resources into non-policing efforts that go to curb criminal activity… Or even both.

@markz631 Local authorities seem completely unable to handle it. Escalation is the only option. This weekend was a good test and Chicago failed

Same weekend there are two mass shootings and 30+ people shot, and this absolute doofus is going back to the well with the BLM-era genre of "I don't see crime at this very moment in this area of the city, thus no crime EVER HAPPENS."

@Waleed51111215 @tutticontenti Bc we know it's a power play & possible precursor to more nefarious action. Guard is not trained for this, and hurts their readiness. Also a waste of money, since the national guard has no (legal) policing powers. Estimated at $1 million per day: cnn.com/2025/08/28/pol…

@CarltonBond4 A classic scene

@Mklenko @CancelTheMSM @funkyjomedina1 Nobody is saying crime does not occur (in Chicago, or anywhere).

@markz631 @CancelTheMSM @funkyjomedina1

@madjack5774 Stayed for the rest of the set (which was amazing, by the way) and there was no shooting.

@markz631 Now, show the video of shooting

@RumHamEconomy Usually asleep at 02:00 How is the answer deployment of the national guard for 29 days (not more to avoid paying then additional money) and taking federal agents off their assignments to do beat work (for which they are grossly over qualified and paid)?

@markz631 You know exactly what you're implying, stop concern trolling. Go make this same post in Bronzeville at 2 am. Or Back of the Yards at midnight. Or Englewood. This city is a disaster & local leaders are doing nothing.

@Mklenko @CancelTheMSM @funkyjomedina1 One weekend versus the overall trend. pbs.org/newshour/show/…

@markz631 @CancelTheMSM @funkyjomedina1 Abc News is cherry picking the numbers? 🤣 You need to pull your head out of your ass.

@Mklenko @CancelTheMSM @funkyjomedina1 Shows numbers cherry picked to fit point of view and that misses the entire point of original argument. Neat.

@markz631 @CancelTheMSM @funkyjomedina1 "Show me the numbers" Shows him the numbers "Oh those don't count because it doesn't support my argument " 🤡🤡🤡

@KJChiFan18 Places can be both south and east.

@Mklenko @CancelTheMSM @funkyjomedina1 So you didn’t see dear leader falsely exclaim that Chicago was being overrun by criminals for dramatic effect and to justify his legally questionable use of national gaurd troop deployment? Cool.

@markz631 @CancelTheMSM @funkyjomedina1 So you're just complaining for the sake of complaining. What a miserable existence.

@Mklenko @CancelTheMSM @funkyjomedina1 “Dog bites man, film at 11.” Of course crime would drop w/ national guard troops present and hundreds of federal agents on the beat (speaking of, how much is that costing for them not to be doing their actual jobs?). Not to mention too crime was already dropping well before.

@markz631 @CancelTheMSM @funkyjomedina1 Are you naturally ignorant or just pretending in an effort to defend the bad policies of Democrats? Either way you're looking foolish. youtu.be/9EygBrC2AMg?si…

@Mklenko @CancelTheMSM @funkyjomedina1 Oh yeah? Didn’t know crime data was reported that quickly? Or was ot just for show? 🧐

@markz631 @CancelTheMSM @funkyjomedina1 Yea, it's unfortunate they solved the crime problem too efficiently. 🤡

@CarltonBond4 This isn’t in a suburb.

@markz631 Now do the Southside of Chicago Mark. Them White suburbs look fine.

@tutticontenti Post hoc ergo propter hoc. Also, the guard would only be sent for photo ops. The Bean doesn’t need guarding.

@markz631 You are an ignorant jerk who has made a fool of himself/ 35 shot over weekend in Chicago as governor rejects Trump's threat to send in National Guard The violence came as Trump criticized the governor's handling of crime. abcnews.go.com/US/35-shot-wee…

@Mklenko @CancelTheMSM @funkyjomedina1 You’re right. The national guard picking up trash was a great use of tax money.

@markz631 @CancelTheMSM @funkyjomedina1 D.C. results. Pay attention.
